Alkagesta Elevates Anthony Guida to Lead Biofuels Trading Desk

Geneva-based Alkagesta has recently elevated Anthony Guida to the position of Biofuels Trading Desk Lead, underscoring his significant contributions to the expansion of the company's biofuels sector. This promotion was previously highlighted by industry publications <a href="https://alkagesta.com/alkagesta-appoAnthony Guida to lead its biofuels-trading-desk/">Times of Malta</a> and Biofuels News.

Since joining Alkagesta in January 2025, Guida has been instrumental in establishing a comprehensive trading framework that spans the entire biofuels value chain. His work has focused on connecting specialised feedstock and waste-oil suppliers with established European producers of biodiesel, Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).

A pivotal achievement for Alkagesta under Guida's leadership was securing the ISCC CORSIA certification in January 2026. This certification enables the firm to engage in the trading and supply of CORSIA-eligible sustainable aviation fuel. Concurrently, Alkagesta finalised a multi-year off-take agreement for Malta and Italy, coupled with storage arrangements at Pantank’s Antwerp terminal.

Further demonstrating growth, investment in a used cooking oil processing facility has boosted the company’s equity barrel volumes from 734 tonnes to 1,860 tonnes. Guida has characterised these developments as resulting in a “certified, structured, and scalable biofuels trading platform” for Alkagesta.

This certification also facilitated Alkagesta's entry into the jet fuel market. The company now has commercial access to NATO’s Central European Pipeline System, allowing it to reach airports in Germany and Belgium. Alkagesta anticipates trading approximately 100,000 tonnes of jet fuel in 2026. Moreover, after years of strengthening its balance sheet and securing increased support from international financial institutions, the firm completed its initial crude transaction. This involved loading 1.07 million barrels of CPC Blend in the second quarter of 2026, destined for the Far East.

Guida brings more than a decade of experience in energy markets to his new role. His career background includes previous engagements with S&P Global Platts, Phillips 66, and PETRONAS. During his time at these organisations, his responsibilities evolved from crude oil market analysis to strategic and business development roles encompassing crude, biofuels, and carbon markets.
